A friend of mine needs a new PSU for his system. From what I can gather it consists of a socket 754 AMD chip and I think an Asus motherboard, 1GB ram, two hard drives (probably 40/80Gb each) and an Nvidia 6600 (not sure if its GT/GTX etc).
Can please anyone recommend a decent budget PSU that would suit his system now and also when he upgrades to socket 939? I appreciate the words 'decent' and 'cheap' don't often go well together as far as PSU's are concerned but any help would be greatly appreciated.
From the Enermax's listed on this page http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_This_Week_Only_25.html, the 400w sounds ok. On this page http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Tagan_393.html the 380w and the 420w seems ok but would these PSU's cope ok with SLI as even though some say they wil on papar, in the real world they can apparently struggle.
